Russia-K
Russia-K (Russian: Россия Культура, romanized: Rossiya Kul'tura "Russia - Culture") is a Russian nationwide not-for-profit television channel that broadcasts shows regarding arts and culture. It belongs to the state-controlled VGTRK group.
The creation of Kultura channel was authorised on 25 August 1997 after the presidential Decree No. 919 was signed by Boris Yeltsin. Its creation was supported by Mstislav Rostropovich, Dmitry Likhachyov, Rolan Bykov and other public figures. Mikhail Shvydkoy became the first editor-in-chief of Kultura. The channel began broadcasting on 1 November 1997 at 10:00 AM. At the stage of launching, it was planned that it would be called "RTR-2" (while RTR was labeled as RTR-1). The corresponding logo was briefly used in a number of printed TV programs, while the stylized "K" letter was used as the logo from the beginning of broadcast.
The channel was rebranded as Russia-Culture (Rossiya-K) on 1 January 2010 along with three other main channels of the VGTRK group.
The channel re-transmitted Euronews European news channel from 2 October 2001 to 3 September 2017. From 2007 until 2010, it broadcast children's programming produced by Bibigon. Sergey Shumakov has been the editor-in-chief since 2009. The TV channel does not broadcast advertisements, but it promotes cultural events.
The "Kultura" TV channel began broadcasting on November 1, 1997, at 10:00 Moscow Time. It was initially distributed through the network of the GTRK "Petersburg — Channel Five", except for frequencies in Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad Oblast. During the planning stages, the channel was intended to be named "Kultura" ("RTR-2"). This name and logo were briefly used in some printed TV guides, but the on-air logo from the start was a stylized letter "K".
The channel's staff largely consisted of off-screen employees from the disbanded "Lad" studio of Russian Television. Among them were director of musical programs Andrei Torstensen, chief editor of musical programs Valentin Ternyavsky, and head of artistic programs Ekaterina Andronikova. Some, like chief editor Arkady Bederov, had previously worked on the educational channel "Russian Universities," produced by VGTRK, whose airtime was transferred to NTV in 1996.
Initially, "Kultura" broadcast from 8:00 to 0:30 on weekdays and from 10:00 to 0:30 on weekends. In the Moscow region, weekday broadcasting was truncated, starting at 12:30. During its first year, "Kultura" shared its frequency in Moscow and the Moscow Oblast with the "Teleexpo" channel during morning and late-night hours, and from September 26, 1998, to October 2, 2001, with "MTV Russia". In Saint Petersburg, the channel did not broadcast initially due to the lack of an available frequency. Later, the channel's programs were temporarily retransmitted by the "OTV" company on channel 49 until "Kultura" acquired its own frequency on channel 29, which occurred on July 2, 2001.
On July 10, 1998, Tatyana Paukova was appointed chief editor of the channel by decree of the President of the Russian Federation.
